sand boy?

[gleb]

Rube’s side only got their two points at the end of the game when the ref gave them a mercy penalty. They took the shot at goal just to get on the board. There was no sand boy or anything so the goalkicker took his boot off, put the ball in it and kicked the goal in just his socks. By comparison, Steve’s side won a pretty good game, 24–10, and Steve, as usual, had a blinder.
